...is when the voice on the other end of the line asks meekly, "would you spell 'Texas' for me, please?"

Anecdote relayed by one of our local city councilpersons as he confesses to sending his Treo 600 through one wash cycle and two rinse cycles. I feel your pain, amigo.

The really scary part is such an ignorance of US geography doesn't automatically indicate the call is being forwarded overseas.

Not that I'm feeling particularly smug about it.
